Delta warns tariffs could force airline to stop buying foreign-made airplanes
- Horizon Air reduced the number of flights scheduled for the summer and deferred the delivery of two Embraer E175 jets originally planned for May due to delays caused by tariffs.

- Delta warned that tariffs could force it to stop buying foreign planes and cancel flights for about 10 million customers annually amid a Commerce Dept. investigation.
- If tariffs persist, the airline industry expects disruption to supply chains, flight capacity, and US aircraft manufacturing, which may lead to broader sector instability.
